For the current price, this is a good lens. It's well made and does the job for most of my close up work, although not technically a Marco lens, I believe. I am using it on my X-Pro1 for outside situations.

IQ wize, it's the best lens for the XP . Sharpness is incredible, bokey is very nice, there is no AC, no vignetting and no geometrical distortion. It's a flawless lens.
Outstanding Image quality
slow AF ; only 1/2
The Fujinon XF 60mm f/2.4 R macro is the best of the three initial lenses for the X-mount. The image quality is already very good at f/2.4 and bitingly sharp around f/4. The resolution remains impressive till about f/11.
One of the very first x lenses and still optically one of the best, but if speed matters to you walk away now.
Image quality often stunning; Distortion non-existent; Easily the best Fuji lens hood - all-metal, deep and fits with a confidence inspiring ‘snick'; Almost immune to flare because of both the deeply recessed front element and the aforementioned lens hood
Painfully slow autofocus, prone to hunting over it's full range when focus is missed; No focus limiter; I agree with James - close focus, yes, macro No; AF is also noisy, but both slowness and noise somewhat improved after firmware updates; No Image Stabiliser
Exceptionally sharp, even for a close to 50mm lens. Extremely low distortion. No discernible fringing. Entirely immune from flare. Exceptional metal lenshood which embarrasses the plastic types Fuji supplies with more recent lenses.
Optically excellent, and great build quality. Focus is a little slow, but very accurate. I don't care for the huge hood, but it is all metal and well made. Overall a good purchase. Works very well for portraits and is sharp right from f2.4 onward. Recommended as a nice compliment to the 35 f1.4.
The Fujinon XF 60mm f/2.4 R Macro lens is a fast mid-range telephoto prime lens for the X-Pro1. Being unable to provide a 1:1 reproduction ratio, it's not a true macro lens and would be better classified as a 'short telephoto'.
It's offered with the Fujifilm X-Pro 1; You require superior performance and robust build quality; You want a lens with excellent flatness of field; You like shooting with filters.
You need true macro capabilities, You require fast and accurate focusing for close-ups; Don't buy this lens if, You need true macro capabilities, You require fast and accurate focusing for close-ups
Fujifilm describe this as a macro lens and whilst it does get close up, it is not a true macro. Don't buy this lens if you want to see a bee's eyes!! That's the one negative. The positives are many, particularly picture quality, which is stunning!
The Fujifilm Fujinon XF 60mm F2.4 R Macro ($649.95) covers a short telephoto field of view and is capable of focusing close enough to reproduce objects with 1:2 magnification. It's one of the first lenses that Fuji released for the X camera system, and doesn't disappoint in terms of sharpness. It's not without some faults; the autofocus is on the slow side and the focus-by-wire manual focus can be frustrating when working at macro distances. We had similar complaints when we reviewed the Zeiss Touit 2.8/50M($899.00 at Amazon), which is more expensive, but can focus closer for 1:1 macro magnification. The 60mm ($649.00 at Amazon) is compact at just 2.8 by 2.5 inches (HD), and fairly light at 7.6 ounces. Its front element uses tiny 39mm filters, and a reversible metal lens hood is included. The hood is imposing; it almost doubles the length of the lens. But it's good idea to use it, as it does an effective job blocking stray light from hitting the front element. The lens barrel is...
The Fujifilm Fujinon XF 60mm F2.4 R Macro is a sharp macro lens, but it doesn't offer 1:1 magnification and focus is on the slow side.
